The Daily Kennebec Journal, published in
this city by Sprague, Burleigh 4 Flynt, APP
pcared Monday morning in an enlarged form
and with sparkling dress of new type, clear

A Negro Camp Meeting.

At a negro camp meeting ct Hillsbor-
pugh, Ills, the other day there was bit
of realism that carries one back to the
days of the Passion play. The preacher
gave an eloquent discourse ON the prodi-
gal SON During its delivery young
darby arrayed in picturesque and many
colored tatters to represent the prodigal
son stood in a clump of bushes waiting
for his cue. At last the cue came in the
shape of a powerful blast on o tin horn,
when he rushed ont and fell into the
arms of the old preacher, who enacted
the part Of father. Then some sisters
brought forward fatted calf which had
been previously killed and nicely roasted,
and every one began to be merry just as
in the days of old. The story as related
sounds somewhat sacrilegious, but it was
enacted by the colored brethren in entire
good faith and without suspicion of
fiippancy. New York Tribune.

Pooling with Nltro-clyeerins,

Nothing fills the small boy of the oil
regions with more glee than to find in
the woods pile of empty nitro-glyterine
cans, which careless and negligent oil
wen shooters persist in leaving In the
neighborhood of places where they have
been operating, although there Is severe
law forbidding this secreting Of empty
nitro-glyceiine cans. There is always
enough OF the fluid left in TIE cans after
being emptied into the torredoes to pro-
vide an explosion more or less violent,
and frequently enough to be exceedingly
destructive. These deadly caches are
often found by hunters passing through
the woods. Once a hunter near Warren
shot into q bunch of brush in which he
had seen fox take refuge. The shot
was followed by an explosion that tore
UP the ground, and shattered trees for
many feet around, and knocked the gun
nG senseless. Some one had placed
nitro glycerine cans in the brush pile,
and the charge from the gun had ex-
vloded them.
Boys are constantly searching for these
hidden cans to have the sport of explod-
ing them, although every year many
boys are made cripples for life by indul-
gence in this sport. and not few are
killed. When the dangerous playthings
are found they are set up, one at time,
rod or SO away, against stone or tree,
and the boys who have found them throw
stones at them until the force Of blow
from one of the stones explodes a can.
The sport is in the loud report and the
way in which earth, stones, and every.
thing within the range of the conclusion
are hurled about and in the air. There
Ia not an oil town from New York state
TO the Washington field that has not one
or more crippled or sghtless boys, made
70 by this reckless trifing with one of the
most terrible explosives known. New

The other day two pretty young Indies,
both dainiily dressed, entered one Of our
large drygoods establishments. took the
elevator to tho second floor and the fur
department. Here careful examination
OF costly furs resulted in the selection Of
a sealslSin dolman. One Of the ladies
opened her purse. AT that moment the
floor walker stepped up. He was excited
and spoke harshly. Put that dolman
away, William" he said; "and you,"
turning TO the purchasers, "leave this
store at once" Astonished and terrified,
they stared helplessly at the man. "Come,
get out, tell YOU" he continued '.or
IN have you bounced in short order"
The ladies were thought to be ''pricers."
A detective ard several statesmen assisted
in their removal TO the street. That this
was case of mistaken identity became
painfully apparent to the startled firm q
few days later. Suit was brought and
$4,000 was required TO settle, in order to
keep the case out Of the papers. II trans
